Once upon a time

[Smootg103]

there were a group of people here on the GB that were fed up with all the political chatter. A few, seeing an opportunity, went off and started their own web site. Sex and flirtations only, highly moderated.

That site is dead and gone and most all that jumped over to the "safe room" are right back here on the GB. Go figure?

Oddly enough, those that contributed to the failure of the aforementioned site were among those 'politicking' for the "Political Forum." Not being satisfied with being losers, they want to be two time losers.

They don't seem to understand that the GB satisfies their need in life. The need to bitch. Without something to bitch about their life has no meaning whatsoever.

They bitch, I point and laugh. The world is in perfect balance.

Not quite right. Lint was more about people who wanted a moderated board where no one ever fought, not people who wanted to avoid politics. The big arguments there that I recall, one of which involved me, were always about moderation.

For the most part, and not surprisingly, the GBers who tried it out didn't stick around long. Most of the prominent members there were Playgrounders, or in a few cases, people who were never on Lit to begin with.

So why did they ever bother to begin with? *chuckle*

Actually the first incarnation of Lint started when Lit was down. It changed hands a few times over the years. It was an invite only forum, and thus smaller and slower than here. There were a lot of good people there, and even a few who never were here. It closed because the last owner, called Kismet there and Honey Lick here, somehow let something accidentally lapse. I was the one person who knew her real name and email (who was still involved in the board). She didn't realize the site was down, but told me she would take care of things. She never did. She stopped answering my emails, and the site never reappeared.

I have the distinction of being the first person ever barred from there.

I thought that honour fell to Kyle?

Happy to be corrected

I was on 5 or 6 of these... you must be more specific.
